Tapua Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) We have one very round and uncomfortable looking Lab girl about to explode with pups. I have to work all the way through Xmas and New Year so my husband is the 'maternity nurse' & he will call me at work if she starts to whelp. Its Pete's first litter unassisted d ... as such and he is excited - I am a bit nervous but I am sure he will be fine and Tua is a born mum. Talk about 'dad' being a tad neurotic about the pups though Edited December 27, 2009 by Tapua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellbyville Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Good luck with your litter. I hope you have an uncomplicated whelping. My little lab bubs are almost 4 weeks now. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapua Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) Here are mum and the kids any suggestions for identifying the little critters?? All we can think of is braiding pink wool with individual colour and blue wool with individual colours to id the boy from girls and individuals - any better ideas? A couple of small ones but all are putting on weight, all feeding well and strong - mum eating drink and doing everything right.

Ozstar Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Congrats on your babies, glad all went/is going well. You can use different colour ribbon, wool etc. You can also buy puppy idetification collars. Leanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 only 12 Pauline, she'll need to try harder next time That's a nice big number and a good start to the new year Sway has puppy ID collars available from her online whelping supplies shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiesrule Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 12 !!!! OMG That will keep you and Pete busy hahaha Poor Tua I know alot of people who use different coloured ribbons/braid. I have marked mine with liquid paper in the past, but i waited until mommy wasnt cleaning them all over all the time, then just marked them in different areas. but I think the ribbons are the way to go, or those puppy collars, I think Swayd sells them.
